and development from the embryo to maturity. Of course, in 

 a book of this size it is impossible to include all known species, 

 but the author has made a judicious selection of the trees most

The author has never lost sight of the fact that the living 

 tree is the object upon which the reader's attention must be 

 focussed, and this he has succeeded in doing in a very successful 

 manner. 



We can confidently recommend this book to all who are 

 interested in trees.

The present issue of this little pocket-book, which is of a 

 convenient size and made of good paper, shows the same features 

 as former editions, and has also some new articles in the intro- 

 ductory portion. These include some Tables useful to foresters, 

 a note on the Area of Woodlands in Great Britain and Europe, 

 some statistics in regard to the Average Prices of Home-grown 

 Timber, and so forth. The present issue is likely to prove as 

 useful to foresters as have the former editions.
